Gifts For Your Good Intentions

I know the contest thing is pretty crazy. The biggest problem is that my reach in direct communication with fans is tiny, and not many people will be in a position to do anything. But for those who donate their time and effort, rest assured, I will be putting a considerable time and effort - possibly thousands of dollars worth - into making a story to reward you.

Even more fan art! I'm not sure if this technically counts. An artist (Mari) was drawing stuff, and asked for suggestions, and liked Bray's description! Again, Twitter link in picture. ATTRIBUTE YOUR ART, CHILDREN.

I take no responsibility for adult art that might or might not appear on either account. I am linking because that is what you do to not be a poopy head to artists.

Okay, one more thing.

I have, as you know, pondered how much I can preview the next book without ruinous spoilers. I have decided to give you this chapter. It introduces Gerty Goat, is fun, and contains hints rather than anything definite about anything that happens.

That is just too brilliant, and has reminded me of a question I've been meaning to ask. Is Ampexia any relation to Bismuth? Certainly too young to be the mentioned daughter, but a similar family gift for music related inventions?

I just wanted to let you know, that I have shared this sample with my young-one, and the response was essentially the same - two of us beginning to reread the first four books, and on tender-hooks for the next book....

I tried to pick a sample that provides only useless hints in terms of spoilers. With any luck, all you REALLY know from this sample is that Penny does not immediately get her body and life back. I doubt many people expected her to!
